Jennifer Lopez and Emme: A Summer Bonding Trip Post-Divorce
Jennifer Lopez Sizzles in the Hamptons with Daughter Emme, But Where's Ben Affleck?
The summer of love is officially over for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck! While JLo is soaking up the sun in the Hamptons with her 17-year-old daughter Emme, sources close to the pop star are spilling all about their recent split. It's been a wild ride for Jen, who has been navigating her personal and professional life since filing for divorce from Ben last year.
A Mother-Daughter Getaway Fit for Royalty
Jen recently treated her devoted Instagram followers (248 million strong!) to a sneak peek into their Hamptons vacation. The 56-year-old singer shared photos of herself and Emme cruising around in a convertible, looking like the ultimate summer vibe duo. Emme rocked a plaid blue top and khaki shorts, while Jen opted for a chic white button-up shirt and effortlessly styled hair.
The mother-daughter pair was also joined by vocal coach Stevie Mackey, who sat in the front seat of the convertible. But what's catching everyone's attention is that Ben Affleck wasn't present on this particular outing – nor has he been seen with his ex-wife since their divorce was finalized in February. Something fishy is going on!
Jen's Been Living Her Best Life
According to a source, Jen has been having the "time of her life" this summer. The Up All Night: Live in 2025 Tour may be over (it concluded on August 12), but Jen is still basking in the glow of connecting with fans worldwide. "She loved every moment of it," the insider gushed. "The tour was an incredible experience for her – she's been doing what she loves, and it shows."
And speaking of love, Jen has a new passion project on the horizon: the $30M-budget musical Kiss of the Spider Woman! She'll be playing three lead roles in the big-screen adaptation of Manuel Puig's 1976 novel. Insiders claim that filming was a therapeutic experience for Jen, who had recently gone through a tough time with Ben.
A Star-Studded Cast and a Glimpse into the Past
The movie also stars Tonatiuh, Diego Luna, Bruno Bichir, Josefina Scaglione, and Aline Mayagoitia. What's intriguing is that Ben Affleck happens to be one of the eight credited executive producers on this project through his company Artists Equity. Coincidence? Perhaps.
A Glimpse into Jen and Ben's Complicated History
Remember when we thought "Bennifer" was back in the game? Well, it turns out their 2021 reunion was short-lived, and they went their separate ways again. This marks the third time they've split (yes, you read that right – three!). The couple first met on the set of Gigli in 2001, got engaged in 2002, but then broke up before getting married.
However, after secretly texting each other in 2021, they rekindled their romance and even got hitched in July 2022. But it seems like this time around, their love has fizzled out for good. Ben still needs to unload the couple's $60M marital mansion in Beverly Hills – talk about a painful reminder of their failed marriage!
What's Next for Jen?
Jen is set to kick off her 12-date Up All Night Live in Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace's The Colosseum on December 30. We can't wait to see what she has in store for her fans! With a slew of upcoming acting projects, including Ol Parker's rom-com Office Romance and Robert Zemeckis' thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish, Jen is clearly not slowing down anytime soon.
And as if all this wasn't enough, the pop star is also set to produce Bob the Builder for Amazon MGM Studios! It looks like JLo is taking Hollywood by storm – Ben Affleck can take a seat and enjoy the show!
